I read that and was wondering the same thing. Did you his "Well first 5 on 5 game since April didn't go so well...DAMN!" tweet from this past weekend?

Now the MRI tweet, makes me wonder if he re-injured his ankle or if the ankle isn't heeling right. It would suck if he has to get surgery.

No SG, two SFs. Can we trade Batum for Rudy?

won't be a season so he has time to heal. Not trying to be negative but I do believe there will not be a season.

For as hard as these guys are on their body, they sure do cut corners when it comes to trying to get healthy. We (including him) knew that he needed surgery, yet he elected to go for some shitty ass plasma injection therapy.

Can't glue a tendon/lig back together with plasma......sigh.

 

[LOTBfan]

you can however separate them with plasma

You make it sound like he willingly injured himself. I know there's nothing else to talk about, but wow.

He doesn't make it seem like that at all. Everything he said was true. Surgery would have been the better option.

Sucks we gave Rudy away for nothing

Surgery is better than letting your body heal itself? I'm glad you aren't my doctor.

He can't be too hurt, according to his tweets he's golfing this morning.

Looks like he wants to play in Europe

According to Young, Matthews is 85 to 90 percent healthy and close to working out at full force. Like most players who have been limited physically for a while, he's chomping at the bit to get back out there and get that muscle memory working.

"He just loves to play,” Young told PBN. "We have to find a team in Europe in a good situation, with good money, and who’s going to give him a NBA out. That’s going to be the challenging part.”

I love how fans who have no medical expertise and have no knowledge of the players physical examination act as though they know a player is making a mistake for being hesitant to have their body cut open...

Surgery is a last resort and a one way choice. I'd much rather have a player make the mistake of waiting a few months to have a surgery then make the mistake of having an unnecessary permanete surgery that can never be reversed.

The sad thing is, with the Medical staffs recent track record, I'm actually pleasantly surprised when a player returns from injury on schedule and Doesn't re-injure themselves.

Blazers got no shitty guard in return. That's better than having him on the roster. He royally sucked.

sometimes it is true. I broke my scaphoid and it never healed on it's own. There are no vessels that connect to that bone.

 

[THE HCP]

I got a bad case of scaphoid from a Thai hooker once!

 

[blue32]

Last time I checked when you tore a tendon it required surgery....obviously, this is for a complete tear. Isn't that what happened to Wes? If not, then my bad, but I speak from first hand experience, just recently having my ACL surgically repaired....

 

[maxiep]

My guess is that he had an MRI as a way to audit how his ankle is healing. No big deal.

I tore a tendon in my finger, just like Dirk, and it healed fine without surgery. The finger was immobilized for 6 weeks 24/7 so it wouldn't bend. Saw my same surgeon who did my ACL surgery and he said basically every tendon or ligament would regrow if the ends were touching and there is sufficient blood flow. That doesn't work with ACL's but maybe it could with an ankle or maybe Wes only had a partial tear.
